Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was reportedly set to introduce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm?p=Press-Releases&amp;id=5DE57C05-41B3-4914-9D56-637385222378\">legislation<\/a> aimed at cutting off support for the Taliban. According to Wednesday reports, the bill would prohibit federal departments from taking action on recognizing the Taliban\u2019s claim to be the rightful government of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio has insisted the Biden administration to acknowledge the Taliban as a terrorist organization and their newly formed government as a representation of such, which this new legislation would require. The bill would also require a State Department assessment on countries with diplomatic relationships with the Taliban and if any foreign entities knowingly provided assistance to the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt that a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan poses a direct threat to our national security interests and that of our allies and partners both in the Middle East and in Central Asia. Following the Biden Administration\u2019s disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan, the country is already becoming a safe haven for terrorists who hate America.\u201d Rubio said in released statement. \u201c\u2026Congress must take action to deal with this new reality and keep Americans safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen Rubio <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTuberville?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenTuberville<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenCapito?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenCapito<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenDanSullivan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenDanSullivan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenThomTillis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenThomTillis<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenLummis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenLummis<\/a> introduced the Preventing Recognition of Terrorist States Act to designate the Islamic Emirate of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Afghanistan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Afghanistan<\/a> as a state sponsor of terrorism &amp; the Taliban as a terrorist org.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/htchsKKjB0\">https:\/\/t.co\/htchsKKjB0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Rubio Press (@SenRubioPress) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRubioPress\/status\/1438169896106536963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill has received support from several Republicans, including Sen.
